Subject: Schroder Mutual Fund Reorganization
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, back in May, Schroders entered into a strategic relationship with Hartford Funds. The relationship involves Hartford Funds adopting 10 of Schroders’ existing US mutual funds. To effect this transaction, a proxy was sent to all shareholders requesting approval of the reorganization plan. The proxy statement can be accessed through the following link:

To the extent you have investments in Schroder Funds either directly or through the retirement plan, I’d ask that you please take the time to vote your shares as soon as possible. The Shareholder meeting is scheduled for Tuesday October 11, 2016 and we would like all shareholders to vote their proxy.
Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thanks!
